Hi guys
I've had this beast for a few weeks now and below you can see what i make of it....
some of the highlights for me...
- Less is more
- Light
- Comfortable - this thing is unreal on the wrist, the many many 1/2 links make it hug the wrist
- Good looking - see below for specifics
- Under the radar - MOST important for me
- Uncluttered - the dial is just as sweet as that of the 5167
- Good lume
- Resizing is easy - I got the version with bracelet screws as opposed to the pins which is a pain in the arse to work with
Look and feel in details....
When Patek designed the Nautilus both the aesthetic and the functional elements were given equal weight - nothing is left to chance here
Case, Dial, Hands, Lume, Bracelet and Polished Areas all work very well together and it's no wonder this in the world of horology is perceived as the Rolls Royce of sports watches - it truly is the masterpiece
the colours that make up the 5711 are white, black, blue and grey. They are all analogue and bind together extremely well.
Of all the watches I have owned and currently own, this is by far the best crafted of them all. I can't fault the 5711, not even the bracelet which I've always thought was a piece but resized properly it's a the dog's (see pics below for how i resized it)
A few snaps for everyone to look at...
hand in pocket shot. It goes with casual as well as office gear
